Day 2: Kiev City Tour
After breakfast at the hotel, you meet with your private guide and driver and start your sightseeing tour of Kiev highlights.

Kiev is one of the oldest surviving cities of ancient Russ. The kingdom of Kievan Russ, from which Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus descended, was established between the 9th and 11th centuries and was one of the most advanced principalities in Europe before it was finally destroyed by the Mongols. The Mongols were particularly keen on burning Kiev, so much so that they raided it every few years to ensure that it never recovered its power and influence. It was in the shadow of this titanic struggle that the small principality of Moscow began building in power.

Your city tour includes the major highlights of the city including the Bessarabska Square, Friendship Arch/Park Bridge, Ukrainian House, Independence (Maidan) and European Squares, St.Sophia Cathedral and the Kiev University.
